I'd like to be surprised by something. Software idea, maybe, since hardware is so hard to keep secret.

....those days are gone.....because 1) Apple is no longer innovative 2) a lot of the information is being found in code in Apple software updates.....most of the stuff being revealed is already known just be people looking at that code.....

Price point may be a surprise. Most rumor sites and articles are predicting a $1000 base config top model iPhone. Make the base config top model $900 or less and there will be alot of people eating crow.

Where to begin? Maybe a new version of iTunes that isn't a steaming bucket of poo? With more settings available to users to eliminate some of the stuff that has to be adjusted because the default is something ridiculous?

They just need to make top-of-the-food-chain devices that check off all of the major desirable categories.

I might be interested in a cellular Apple Watch provided that it truly has a day-long battery life, but I'll have to wait to see if they make it workable with MVNOs - I'm trying to never again put money straight into the pockets of AT&T, VZW, Sprint, and TMo.

However, new iPhones - no matter how cool - make me say "meh". "Force touch" has been a failure, and while the cameras are cool I'm not at all invested in the Apple app ecosystem.
